Slip in without paying. Museum admissions can be pricey — $20 or more for an adult. But don’t sweat it. Many museums offer unadvertised free admission one day each month, and some have free evening hours on a designated day, too. Take the Chicago Children’s Museum where the first Monday of every month offers free admission for all kids ages 15 and younger. And every Thursday from 5-8 p.m., the museum is free to all. Admission to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City is free every Friday from 4-8 p.m. San Francisco’s Exploratorium is free on the first Wednesday of the month. Remarkably, the world-class St. Louis Zoo is free to all, all the time. Check any zoo or museum’s website or call to find out about free but unadvertised admission times.
